RE: Current Maggies run full range compared to high pass and subs.

Thanks for the info. I see. So if your sub's own control had a 4th order LP, for example, the method of first order on the Maggies at their bass roll of point might work ok?
Would a PLLXO (single cap) be ok to use before the speaker power amp to get that 1st order HP or would you be better off using something like a minidsp?

This 1st order HP method you suggested obviously doesn't have as much filtering as if you rolled up the Maggies higher up, say at 80 Hz with a 4th order active HP. Is the former method sufficient in removing enough low frequencies in the signal to protect against excursion, and get a fair amount of higher max volume?

Appreciate dipole subs will integrate better than box ones. I tried an open baffle sub before in my system but it never worked well. Looks like you need quite a few very light drivers, and preferably a servo amp. That GR research sub setup isn't too cheap I guess..
